The Clockwise Man was the first BBC New Series Adventures novel released. It was written by Justin Richards and featured the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler

Later reprints of this book removed the image of Billie Piper from the cover, presumably due to use-of-likeness issues after she had left the programme.

This story was also released as an ebook available from the Amazon Kindle store.

Rose has a conversation with one of the servants in the Imperial Club, who makes her think of Gwyneth in The Unquiet Dead.

In the club, the Doctor looks at a painting of the French Revolution and says “That’s not right”. In the first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, the Doctor’s granddaughter, Susan Foreman, reads a book about the French Revolution and says the same words.

The Doctor mentions to Rose At The end of the Season 2 episode Tooth and Claw that Queen Victoria’s descendants suffered from a condition called Haemophilia. This was also mentioned when The Doctor and Rose visit the British Empire Exhibition.
